Loring was a holy and wise Jesuit. Like Rubio, Arnaiz, Tarín, Mendizábal, Alba, and so many others from a glorious era that had in Loring one of its last and exemplary representatives. There are no longer Jesuits like that, who until not long ago were Legion. When the renowned Society of Jesus was spoken of. An appellation that no one thinks of today.
